What about the wonderful “Just So” stories by Rudyard Kipling?
I forgot to mention that we’ll be spending two weeks in India, so these resources are only the beginning. I may have listed Kipling for next week. If not, I’ll be adding Jungle Book and the Just So stories.
A Little Princess is precious. I always associate Kipling with that setting as well. The very start of A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray begins there, with a bazaar, but the main character must go to a London school in short order. (I don’t want to say why, because I don’t want to spoil it for you. The book is fantastic, and the second – Rebel Angels – is just as good, if not better.)
